I have posted here before the advantage of using gift cards to pay for OTT services and use them to get a discount on those services, every year between Black Friday and x-mas gift cards go on sale between 20% off ( itunes, google play, sony ) to 40% off (netflix, hulu, hbo, cbs, et), I stock up every year and plan to do so this year.
itunes for example this week are 15% off at Costco so I bought a couple of $100 packs to cover buying 4K movies, I also wait to buy till 2 weeks after disc street date, then itunes makes new 4K movies $9.99 which turns into $8.50 for me because of the cards.
I recall that Apple said somewhere around the introduction of the ATV 4K that they weren't going to charge a premium for UHD. Did they go back on their word or are all new releases $9.99?I also wait to buy till 2 weeks after disc street date, then itunes makes new 4K movies $9.99 which turns into $8.50 for me because of the cards.
Too much "white space" combined with a lot of relatively small text. Maybe somewhere in the middle.This is what it will look like after the update.

That you made an effort to note that what you were getting UHD suggested to me that the pricing may be different than other quality levels.You did not read what I wrote, I said about 2 weeks after disc ( not digital ) street date is when they put them on sale and no they do not charge a premium for 4K.
The guide issue may be fixed very soon, as there is a update on the way that changes it up somewhat. I do agree that is one issue with the service, but even as it is now, it is WORLDS better than it was before they added the guide they have.
This is what it will look like after the update. Still similar, but with more information, two weeks of program info, and the tabs moved to the side, with what hopefully is a customization "my channels" option.
I personally have not, but after our last move I never hooked back up my surround system, and generally just use a sound bar. If there is a issue, I dont, or havent noticed it.Appreciate the post, that does look alot better,have you ever had audio issues with Hulu? I had channels that had different levels of audio which became a pain to constantly adjust back and again.
It’s probably the best ott service available at the moment. I only swapped because the walking dead isn’t in season (not that it’s a huge draw for me at the moment), and I wanted hbo for GOT in the same app while it was available.Well now that I am back with YTTV/w Starz for me I am back home where I belong.
That's the way a subscriber should feel about a service,then they know that service is the one for them.
I probably should amend this to say free Showtime is being given as a special gift for select customers. I'm not sure the criteria, but apparently not everyone is getting it. It seems to be going to longer time customers.Free Showtime for current subscribers through September 5th.
I was a previously grandfathered $35 customer. No Showtime offer for me. Not that I mind; I don't particularly care for Showtime.
When you go into your account, do you see how it's listed here for Showtime? I had to manually check the box. When I clicked the link in the email, nothing happened. I had to go into my account settings to activate it.View attachment 139192
